== Description ==
The '''Pit Bull''' Medium Truck is a [[Taurian Concordat]] military logistics truck.  The vehicle is used by the [[TDF]] as an off-road cargo transport vehicle when a flatbed truck isn't needed.<ref name=TRO:VArp14/>

The vehicle most noted uses was in [[3044]], when [[Paula Trevaline|Lady Death Trevaline’s]] [[Tortuga Pirates]] struck the world of [[Althea's Choice]].  The vehicles were dispatched down dangerous back roads to an isolated TDF [[Infantry]] [[Battalion]] which was under attack by the pirates.  The battalion only had training equipment, and needed military gear to survive. A convoy of Pit Bulls traversed the back roads, crews risking their lives getting weaponry to the isolated battalion. The Pit Bull, had successfully reached the battalion, they were able fight off the Pirates and their survivors used the trucks return TDF base.<ref name=TRO:VArp14/>

In [[3054]], the Pinard Protectorates Limited executives were indicted by Concordat courts when they sabotaged [[Vandenberg Mechanized Industries]]' prototype that was to compete with Pit Bull for TDF logistic transport business.  With [[Thomas Calderon]]'s removal from power, Vandenberg dropped its bid to try produce a competitive vehicle.<ref name=TRO:VArp14/>
